Delicious Healthy Home Made Foods Just Like Mum Used To Make

Hidden gem in Putney High Street. Tasty homemade food with great service and great prices.

From the moment I stepped through the doors of Muriel's Kitchen I knew this was going to be a great place for us to eat at and we would be looked after well.

The cafe is very modern with light coloured wooden panelling, colanders as lampshades with upside down plants growing where you sat. This fresh, clean modern look is attractive and makes it an enjoyable place to dine in.

We were greeted by both Ola and Reuben who are the two most happiest people I have ever met and who clearly enjoy working at Muriel's Kitchen. We were told all about the different foods that were available and even though we came at 5pm there was still a great choice for myself and my girls.

Muriel's Kitchen and their style of home cooked foods was a big hit especially with my girls who are the world's most fussiest eaters and yet they could not wait to eat their meals.

My girls chose lasagna which they devoured and said it was the best lasagna they ever ate. To be honest I chose something that I don't normally eat fish pie - I am not a great fish lover - but I could not stop eating even though I was full after eating just half of the dish. The food is beautifully cooked and you can see all of the ingredients as it is not liquidised into a pulp. Portion sizes are very generous and great value for money. When it was time for desserts my girls were so excited and ate it all up although I did have a sneaky taste when they were not looking!!

I was really impressed with their menu from breakfast serving porridge with raisin, cinnamon and apple to eggs - cooked either in the style of florentine, benedicts royale, to muffins filled with mushrooms or egg and bacon and lovely healthy seasonal breakfast pots. Lunch is a great selection of freshly made sandwiches, pitta, rye bread, bagels and baguettes and soups, along with meatballs, fish pie, beef lasagna and chicken and peach curry. Snacks are also available - scotch eggs, toasties to name but a few. And there are also lovely tasty deserts from chocolate cake and pots, strawberries and cream etc.

We sat and watched the world go by while we were waiting for our foods - which did not take long at all. Whilst waiting my girls drank their hot chocolate which they both said tasted like proper hot chocolate and not watered down. You can buy either soft drinks or alcoholic which is unusual but very most welcoming, as well as a great range of tea and coffees.

All I can say if you want either a quick snack or a full meal, have a takeaway or eat in this is definitely the place to go.
